| The "hot spring" of Hot Springs National Park! |
On Monday afternoon, we took a trip into Hot Springs (Arkansas) National Park, which was not at all what we expected. We envisioned lush, wooded forests with natural, bubbling hot springs that would be enjoyable for all to swim and play in...what we found was an old town, with a small row of adult-only "bath houses", that were popular in the early 1900's where the wealthy people would come to "cure" whatever might ail them!! So, since there was no place for the family to enjoy the hot springs together, sadly we had to leave the kids at the camper while John and I went and soaked a couple of times for his birthday. We had originally planned to stay a full week here, but we decided to hit the road this morning (Wednesday) and head back down into northern Louisiana where we found a gem of a state park near Lake Claiborne to spend a few days until we begin making the trek across Texas. So, we tried to make the best of our time in Arkansas for the few days that we were here, but we are looking forward what adventures may be ahead!! Blessings to all of our family and friends that we love and miss so much :-)
